Fitz, Hodges have S-E softball on the rise

SHERBURNE – Sherburne-Earlville’s softball team has come a long way in four seasons, and this past year finished with a school-record 16 wins as it finished second in the Center State Conference.

Softball is indeed a team game, and any coach would tell you it takes nine committed players on the field to win ballgames. Within almost every good team resides standout players, the foundation or backbone to build upon that success.

Simply by reading the daily boxscores, the names Kate Fitzpatrick and Lindsay Hodges come to the forefront. Fitzpatrick, a senior, just completed her fifth year of varsity ball on the Marauders, and will move on to play at East Stroudsburg University in the fall.
